The 2012 EGU Women in Geosciences Mentoring Programme
In response to EGU members' requests, the EGU trialled a mentoring scheme for females (with mentors of both genders), which began in December 2011. The Woman in Geosciences Mentoring Programme was designed so that face-to-face contact was not vital and was meant to be an enriching experience for both the mentor and mentee. In the pilot programme, 38 pairings were active for 9 months. The EGU is not currently running this scheme.
